Note 10 – Income Taxes
 
For the 2016 tax year, the Company is planning to elect and qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code.  To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that the Company distribute at least 90% of its adjusted taxable income to its stockholders.  It is management’s current intention to adhere to these requirements and be eligible to be a REIT for the year ended December 31, 2016.  As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to corporate level federal income tax on taxable income currently distributed to stockholders.  If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT for the 2016 tax year, it will be subject to federal and state income taxes at corporate tax rates.  Even if the Company qualifies to be taxed as a REIT for 2016, it may be subject to federal and state taxes on any undistributed taxable income.  For the 2016 tax year, the Company intends to distribute all of its taxable income; therefore, no provision for federal or state income taxes has been recorded in the financial statements. 
 
Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company had federal and state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $1,352,000, which begin expiring in 2028. The Company has adopted ASC Topic 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” as of its inception. Pursuant to ASC Topic 740, the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for non-capital losses carried forward. The potential benefit of the net operating loss has not been recognized in these financial statements because it cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the loss carried forward in future years.
 
Significant components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, after applying enacted corporate income tax rates, are as follows:

The Company periodically assesses the likelihood that it will be able to recover its deferred tax assets. The Company considers all available evidence, both positive and negative, including expectations and risks associated with estimates of future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible profits. As a result of this analysis of all available evidence, both positive and negative, the Company concluded that it is not likely that its net deferred tax assets will ultimately be recovered; as such, it recorded a valuation allowance for the net operating loss and a reserve due to the anticipated REIT election for calendar year 2016.  
 
The Company follows ASC Topic 740 to recognize, measure, present and disclose in our consolidated financial statements uncertain tax positions that it has taken or expects to take on a tax return. As of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company did not have any liabilities for uncertain tax positions that it believes should be recognized in its financial statements. The Company is not subject and has not been subject to any federal or state income tax examinations.
